ZEKE Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Campaign could be fun. Would be something different for a while. This past year we've only been playing practice games for upcoming tournaments. Until a campaign kicks off, I would like to know what period people are playing for pick-up games cause I can bring stuff for any period & any side, I just don't want to cart all of it. 2 armies I do regularly, 3 I can do, but all 10 every thursday? No Way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 OK, Focusing on the Firestorm campaigns, unless someone has one of the Boxed Firestorm sets (Bargation or Market-Garden), then the options are the limited to the online resources: http://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=4501 Firestorm: Norway (EW)Firestorm: Caen (LW)Firestorm: Overlord (--huge--) (LW)Firestorm: Cherbourg & St. Lô (LW)Firestorm: Lorraine (LW)Firestorm: Greece (EW, Burning Empires)Firestorm: Warsaw (LW)Firestorm: Villers-Bretonneux (WWI) Firestom Boxed Sets: Firestorm Market Garden: Downloadable Resources http://www.flamesofwar.com/Default.aspx?tabid=53&art_id=1938 I don't think that this can be played without the box set. These boxed sets appear to be discontinued and out of stock in the popular outlets. Flames of War: Firestorm Market Garden out-of-stock: http://www.thewarstore.com/product53451.html Flames of War: Firestorm Bagration Perhaps a used copy at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Flames-War-Bagartion-Firestorm-Campaign/dp/B001TIDA4U Bagration and Market Garden Might be available on eBay I took a quick look at the nationalities and types of forces for a few of the online Firestorm Campaigns: Firestorm Lorraine: Mini Campaignhttp://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=3303US ArmorUS InfFree french Armor (2DB)GE PanzerGE PzGrenGE Inf Comment on the FoW page: " Ideally you should play forces from Blood Guts and Glory for this Campaign and the other forces from Turning Tide and Earth and Steel. There are also good Briefings on the 17. SS-Panzergrenadierdivision “Götz von Berlichingen” and French 2éme Division Blindée on the Flames of War website. Likewise if you all agree you should also play using only M4, M4A1, M4A1 (76mm) and all M4A3 versions since other Shermans had not yet entered service."Firestorm: Caenhttp://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=3924BR ParaBR ArmBR Inf CAN InfCAN ArmGE Wehrmacht PanzerGE Wehrmacht InfGE SS PanzerGE SS PanzerGrenFirestorm: Cherbourg & St. Lôhttp://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=4550US ArmorUS Inf (Leg, Para, Ranger)US Mech/CavGE Wehrmacht Panzer (Pz Lehr, StuG & captured French)GE Wehrmacht InfGE SS PanzerGE SS PanzerGren So I suggest you look at the details, spread the word, and decide when we want to get a group vote. I have no preference, since I only have Russians painted, at the moment. I have unpainted germans, so I could paint them up for MW or LW: -- 5xTiger IE (Panzers Marsh!) (MW, LW) -- 5x StuG G Plt (MW, LW) -- 5x Panzer IV J (LW) -- 1x PanzerGren Platoon (Gepanzert) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Zeke, I hope you don't mind that I started a new thread on pickup games, to prevent a muddle here on the campaign topic: http://www.ordofanaticus.com/index.php?/topic/24154-fow-pickup-games-gg/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca Posted March 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Lazarus, last Thursday, you mentioned using the free Firestorm: Overlord as the basis for our campaign. Information and downloads on that campaign are here: Firestorm: Overlord, athttp://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=4495 and a battle report is here:http://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=4184 Next steps: - talking schedule, - sizing up participation, and - logistics (armies already avail, armies to paint, terrain on hand, terrain needed). I am interested in filling some gaps in armies, as I only have one army at the moment, and they will not be in this campaign - Russians. I can also build out some terrain, if we are short.
